Equipment tutors like Steelshaper's Gift or Stoneforge Mystic ?

Looks like a decent starting shell! Honestly looks like you're playing a lot of the powerful stuff already, so maybe tutors to fetch the needed stuff? Recruiter of the Guard has a lot of really powerful targets in your deck, from combo piece Walking Ballista to Stoneforge Mystic . Enlightened Tutor has a lot of useful targets as well as Idyllic Tutor . Duelist's Heritage is a white enchantment that I don't think gets enough love, it boosts your commander making it hit for 10 lifelink, and you can use it pump up opponents creatures that aren't attacking you!

@Nemesis I too am almost dreading what series of bans are going to come out following Modern Horizons 2. I’m almost wondering if power creep will ever reach a point where the “broken” cards of today become weak enough to be unbanned like Jace, the Mind Sculptor , Bloodbraid Elf and Stoneforge Mystic .

Remove Godsend in Favour of Lurrus of the Dream-Den, it has more Grinding-Power in longer games.
Also you might consider Manriki-Gusari in your sideboard for the Mirror Match or other Stoneforge Mystic Decks since you can tutor it.

"What does everyone else say about this? What, exactly, is wrong with white, currently?"

This is a bad question, sorry DemonDragonJ. Not only does it assume that A) there definitely is a problm with white (as opposed to "do you think there is an issue with white?") but also B) you're not specifying a format, which makes all the difference in the world.

Have you ever heard the expression “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”? It's kind of what's going with this thread. You're primarily and EDH player and a lot of the comments here from you (and a lot of other people) are about how they think white is a weak colour in EDH.

However white is an absolute powerhouse in legacy and vintage with cards like Swords to Plowshares, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Monastery Mentor and Stoneforge Mystic being some pretty format defining cards. Hell, even mono white weenies is a proficient modern deck. So the implication that "white is bad in general because I don't think it's strong in the format I play" is a very shortsighted opinion to have.

If you're refering specifically to "white is bad in EDH", then this thread should not have been created in geneal discussion. And considering all of the cards you're talking about, it seems like this is more what you were referring to.

Possibly a nice thing to add to the topic: the thing white does do well in commander right now, is equipment. White has tutors for them (Steelshaper's Gift, Stoneforge Mystic), creatures that synergize with them (Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist, Balan, Wandering Knight), even raw card draw (Sram, Senior Edificer, Puresteel Paladin).

A deck focused on equipment, that does not play white, is doing itself a disservice. It might be a little shallow for a unique identity, especially because it spills over into Boros a lot, but praise where it's due, equipment is what's right about white.

I like it a lot! I'd consider looking into a Stoneforge Mystic package and Mirran Crusader over Knight of Glory in the sideboard since your deck wants to attack with one giant creature, but at that point I think I'm just suggesting ways to turn this into a GW goodstuff deck, which I don't think is what you want to do. Maybe cut a couple of 4 drops for some more 2 drops or Birds of Paradise to help with your curve (You run the risk of not doing anything for the first 2 turns of the game, which is a little too slow for modern), but other than that it looks great.

Nubinger: This deck is a little bit too budget to afford Steelshaper's Gift while keeping all the swords. I can't run them both.

I admit Stoneforge Mystic is an excellent card that I overlooked when I built this deck. I'll see what I can cut for it.
